Q&A Weapon dmg update

[Boris]

This is the first round / draft and if there's something OP or not good enough, we can make more changes. I'll try to explain the current changes as good as I can, without giving numbers.

Orange: No changes, good as they are.
Green: Changes, boosted.

• 100% Halberd
  95% Crescent blade
  92% Paladin sword
  90% Viking sword
  85% Bardiche
  82% Bladed staff
  65% Broadsword
  60% Longsword

The swords were really wrong. Before this update longsword was the best sword from every aspect. It did the most damage, it was the fastest and it required the least skill. I boosted broad, viking and paladin sword to match or top the longsword. Also minor speed changes have been made to 1-handed swords, but they're barely noticable IG. Besides the 1-handed swords, bladed staves and crescent blades took a clear boost.

• 100% Maul
  97% Scythe
  92% Scepter
  85% War mace
  75% War axe
  65% War hammer

Mauls don't really need a boost, so they took fine-tuning and the reason behind it was because I wanted to create more difference/gap between scepters and mauls. The difference/gap is identical between war maces and war axes. War axes took a clear boost, but war maces will do more damage and due high ingot requirements, they have much more durability. For now scythes are left untouched.

• 100% Lance
  95% Double bladed staff
  85% Pike
  75% Spear

I see spears fine as they are and there was a clear problem with pikes. Pikes require more skill, they're slower than spears and before this update, they did identical damage (these two had the same exact damage modifiers). Now pikes were boosted in damage, creating a difference. Double bladed staves were boosted aswell and Lances took a boost to match its speed/skill requirements.

Do try out the changes, the basic idea of these changes is the create more variety in both PvP and PvM - and feedback is always welcomed.

Two-handed axes?

[KaneThun]

the old crafteable weapons and founf items got boosted also? or just the new made and found ones?

All.

Two-handed axes?

Yeh there's an idea what about looking into axes? Double axes look class and I remember from JE people used to use them all the time. For two handed weapons that hit one tile the current damage sucks

Axes added to discussion on the GM forums.

[Vaux27]

Myep this is pretty cool, can't wait to do some testing.

Green: Changes, boosted.
100% Maul


Mauls don't really need a boost, so they took fine-tuning and the reason behind it was because I wanted to create more difference/gap between scepters and mauls.

So, did the Mauls eventually got a boost?

A simple yes/no will do.

[Boris]

Yes.

95% Crescent blade - Sparing weapons for Swordsmanship. In my opinion it's more useful as a low damage weapon. Boosting it is like boosting Training Staff.
